I am a Computing student, student journalist, broadcaster and father-of-one from Fleetwood in Lancashire, currently studying for a degree at Imperial College London.

You can download my Curriculum Vitae from this website. I will be looking for full time employment from Summer 2012, when I am expecting to graduate from my computing degree.

I am currently in the fourth (and final) year of my MEng Computing (Software Engineering) degree at Imperial College London, which I will graduate from in 2012. My academic record, including previous education, is in here.

I am proficient in many programming languages and mark-ups including PHP, Java, C++, HTML/CSS, SQL, Prolog, Haskell and more. I also have experience of working in different agile development environments, along with other relevant skills.

I have had much experience of Web Development over the past two years. This includes the student news website, two computing projects, the RCS Motor Club website and a students’ union website. I have knowledge of PHP, ASP.NET, JavaScript, JQuery, AJAX, MySQL and SQL Server 2005.

I spent almost two years as editor of Imperial College’s student news website, Live!, been editor of a student union magazine, produced two student union handbooks and have written articles for our student newspaper and alumni magazine.

A small portfolio of the videos that I have helped produce whilst at University can be found here, including our award-nominated “Great Egg Race” documentary. You’ll also find information about some of the other projects that I’ve worked on.

As well as taking business courses at both Sixth Form and University, I have been a part of a team that has won two Business Enterprise competitions and traded shares in a stock market competition.

From April 2007 until August 2008 I held the position of “Vehicle Co-ordinator” at Fleetwood Transport Festival. Over the space of two years, I was responsible for doubling exhibitor numbers at the event which attracted around 60,000 visitors. You can view images from the event here, too.

I have volunteered for many clubs, societies and organisations. I have helped to maintain historic motor vehicles at university, given a helping hand to those running two different students’ unions, liaised with our alumni association, been a member of St John Ambulance and helped my high school to become the first ever “Fairtrade School”.
